Bath repair at your home in BH7
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

BH7 questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
